How to Fix Hidden SharePoint Board Buckets Appearing in Web Parts
Question details
Users need a way to hide specific board buckets when viewing a SharePoint list through a web part.
- Product
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Displaying a SharePoint list board view inside a SharePoint page using a web part.
- Observed behavior
- Buckets that are hidden in the native SharePoint list board view remain fully visible when displayed via the SharePoint list web part.
Verify that you have permission to edit the SharePoint page and create Power Apps within your Microsoft 365 environment before attempting the workaround.
Create a Custom Board Using Power Apps
Since the native SharePoint web part does not sync hidden buckets, building a filtered Power Apps canvas app is the most effective workaround.
Currently, the SharePoint list web part does not support showing or hiding board buckets, nor does it sync this setting from the list view. To bypass this limitation, you can build a custom interface.
Open Power Apps from your Microsoft 365 dashboard and create a new blank canvas app.
Connect your specific SharePoint list as the primary data source for the application.
Insert galleries to act as your board buckets and use the 'Filter' function to display items only for the desired statuses, excluding the ones you want hidden.
Save your changes and publish the Power App.
Navigate back to your SharePoint page in edit mode, add a 'Power Apps' web part, and enter your app's web link or ID to embed it.
Submit a Feature Request to Microsoft
Report the synchronization issue directly to Microsoft to encourage a native fix in future updates.
Boost Your Team's Productivity with WPS Office
While dealing with Microsoft SharePoint and Office limitations can be frustrating, WPS Office offers a free, lightweight, and highly compatible alternative for your document management and offline collaboration needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do hidden buckets still show up in the SharePoint web part?
The SharePoint list web part currently lacks the functionality to synchronize the 'hide bucket' display settings from the native list board view. The web part pulls all default list data without applying board-specific view filters.
Will recreating the SharePoint web part fix the hidden bucket issue?
No, recreating the web part will not resolve the issue. The behavior persists because it is an inherent feature limitation of the web part, not a temporary glitch.
Do I need a special license to use Power Apps for this workaround?
You need a Microsoft 365 subscription plan that includes Power Apps capabilities for Office 365 in order to create and embed custom canvas apps on SharePoint pages.
